My Journey in Floral Design

Introduction

Hello! My name is Abbigaylle Drennon, I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. I’m thrilled to share my journey in the world of floral design. At 35 years old, I've spent much of my life surrounded by the beauty and elegance of flowers. From owning my own florist shop to designing arrangements for weddings, events, and proms, my passion for floristry has been a constant source of inspiration and creativity.

A Love for Flowers from the Start

My love for flowers began at a young age. On the weekends I would go and help my Uncle Terri with his big wedding jobs around Charleston, South Carolina. He was well known in the area and had been doing weddings for years. Those early experiences ignited a passion that would follow me throughout my life. 

 

The Path to Professional Floristry

My professional journey in floral design began at Boone Hall Plantation. This historic and picturesque location provided the perfect backdrop for me to hone my skills and deepen my love for floral artistry. Working at Boone Hall, I was surrounded by stunning landscapes and had the opportunity to learn from experienced florists who shared their knowledge and passion with me.

Owning My Own Shop

One of the most rewarding chapters of my journey was owning my own florist shop. Running a business taught me invaluable lessons about customer service, inventory management, and the art of meeting clients' needs. I loved the challenge of creating unique designs for each customer, whether it was for a wedding, a corporate event, or a simple bouquet for a loved one. The joy and satisfaction I saw on my clients' faces when they received their arrangements were the highlights of my career.

Specializing in Weddings, Events, and Proms

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working on multiple weddings, events, and prom arrangements. Each project presented a unique opportunity to create something special and memorable. I particularly enjoy the collaborative process of working with brides and event planners to bring their visions to life. From elegant bridal bouquets to elaborate event centerpieces, I take pride in crafting designs that reflect the personality and style of each client.

A New Chapter

While I loved the experience of owning my own shop, I am now excited about the prospect of working for another florist. I have recently relocated to Ormond Beach, Florida and I am eager to bring my skills, creativity, and passion for floral design to a new team. Working with others who share my love for flowers and learning from their experiences is something I look forward to. I believe that collaborating in a different environment will not only enhance my skills but also allow me to contribute to a collective vision of beauty and artistry.

Conclusion

My journey in floral design has been a fulfilling and enriching experience. From the early days helping my uncle, to my professional start at Boone Hall Plantation and owning my own florist shop, each step has deepened my love for this art form. As I embark on this new chapter, I am excited to continue creating beautiful floral designs and sharing my passion with others. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to the possibilities that lie ahead.
